    Which is why the criticism of whitewashing in Frozen is totally misguided.

        @coltz Essentially have white characters and culture dominant in entertainment media.

          @northernnarwhal Do you mean people are complaining because Frozen has only white people?

            @coltz Yes, which is ridiculous because the setting and context of the story warrant the people to be white. And that goes back to what I was saying earlier that representation in media shouldn't come from replacing characters with minorities, but with writing stories that provide appropriate context for minorities.

        @coltz When you take a work with black characters and make them white. Disney is criticized for doing this with Frozen because the original story originated from some Scandanavian tribe whose members had a tan.
